Although the weather has warmed up considerably of late, the trees and shrubs are still pretty brown. I have noticed for the past several years that more and more people are planting these early spring blooming trees. My spirits are uplifted by these spots of color as I bike around the neighborhood early in the morning. I think they are magnolias. . .right?
I know these are sights for sore eyes! It's raining here again today. I'm beginning to hate the rain as much as you were hating the winter!
ReplyDeleteAnd, we are needing rain! I wish Mother Nature knew a little more about balance!!
Deleteyes, i'd call that bright pink a tulip magnolia. :) lots of folks plant bloomers in texas, too. really makes for great spring landscape.
ReplyDeleteWe have a white magnolia in our front yard which is filled with blossoms just now emerging. These are very pretty and I can imagine how that color is a blessing after a long cold winter.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous sight after the long winter!
ReplyDeleteI think they're magnolias. They're certainly pretty.
ReplyDeleteI think the pink is a tulip magnolia. Might the white one be dogwood??
ReplyDeleteWhatever they are I'm sure they're a very lovely and welcoming sight!
So happy for you. Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet these brighten up a lot of spirits.
ReplyDeleteNothing like Spring blossoms.
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in Michigan, I always looked forward to the spring blossoms. What a welcome sight!
ReplyDeleteI love the blossoms too Kate, I just wish they weren't so short lived. Beautiful images here.
